Name:Philipp Haller

Bio:

My areas of research are programming languages, type systems, and concurrent/distributed programming.

Previously, I was a researcher, software engineer, and consultant at Typesafe. Prior to Typesafe, I was a post-doctoral fellow in the Pervasive Parallelism Lab at Stanford University and in the Programming Methods Lab (LAMP) at EPFL, Switzerland. Prior to that I was a PhD student of Martin Odersky. My main research interests are in the design and implementation of programming languages and managed runtime environments to support concurrent and parallel software. I received a PhD in Computer Science from EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2010.

I am a top-10 contributor of the Scala project. Recently, I have been working on Scala 2.10 futures (SIP-14) as well as Scala’s upcoming Async feature (SIP-22) for asynchronous and concurrent programming.
